So how are the AIM comments about fund raising only partially right?
A placement or Primary bid may be possible but from what I read AIM limits the amount against an open offer for a 12 month period so an Open Offer is not permitted. Even if it is permitted there you go again with your comments, making things up to try and belittle people.
"They could have tried their luck there again but probably decided it wasn't worth the effort for the likely reward. Not many sophisticated investors lurking here for sure; more just a bunch of punters desperate for their luck to turn after years of frustration"
Well the open offer from May had poor returns from all 3 markets so why make out the AIM people are desperate punters.
The reason they may be coming back is because they have people from Botswana who are now satisfied with where the project is going and have indicated they want to be part of it.
Morning Winni, regarding your thoughts on the open offer, AIM limits the amount that can be offered in a 12 month period and because of the open offer in March it could not be offered to us.
Reading between the lines the company are expecting a good chunk of the open offer to come from Botswana, I would think that could mean the BPOPF based on the 4 for every 11 but we'll see if that happens.
"These funds are stated on the announcements as for use to finish off the pilot project 10MW, tx line and sub-station connection. 13m aussie dollar to finish off the remainder of the project"
It does not state this at all
It states this;
The net proceeds of the Entitlement Offer, along with existing cash, will MAINLY be applied by Tlou towards achieving Lesedi power project power grid connectivity in Botswana, including expenditure relating to:
ยท Transmission line and substations
ยท Drilling, field operating costs, gas gathering, generation
ยท Corporate expenditure and working capital.
There is no mention of Pilot or 10MW, how do you know it's not to get to immediate expansion to 25MW as per plan?
BenA1, that's right on the money regarding Orapa buying power from the grid (no gas pipeline is planned by TLOU)
As for the gas coming from Mamba, that's what I think as it's further north closer to Letlhakane's substations.
The BPC want gas heading north instead of into Morupule to balance the grid out, towards Orapa and the North of the country, the gas supply and 220kV transmission lines would be needed of course
Hi smallfish, I believe that power from Eksom is no longer available and Morupule can't provide all the power that is required, I believe it is being bought from Mozambique when other options have been exhausted and at a high tariff, so yes as much power as we can offer.
If we get to a position were we are supplying SAPP and or Orapa then we will be doing very well.
Hi Winni, I agree mate, the bigger prize is the target and the BPC want a role in this and that should be a good thing.
The position the company are in has never been so good IMO regardless of what some on here say.
Also Brad Mamba could be very significant if we needed additional transmission lines heading north towards Orapa/Letlhakane which we would in order to provide 90 MW.
It's much closer and it would leave Lesedi to continue sending power towards Morupule.
I'm probably wide of the mark but let's see if we start some drilling at Mamba soon.
